One Mile at a Time

AM- 3 miles. Witnessed someone getting pulled over.

PM- 4.5 miles. Ran by myself because during practice I went to eat with some family from California. Hoping to go sub 5 tomorrow at UVU. Good luck to eveyone racing tomorrow.

UVU Invite today. I was feeling pretty nervous because I really wanted to go sub 5. Warmed up with a mile some stretching and drained my legs. Did a couple strides before my race. My first lap was a 68 which is faster than I usually go. Not sure on the second lap but ran a 78 third lap then under a 73 fourth lap. I ran a 4:57 so I'm pretty happy. Still room for improvement on the second and third lap. Cooled down after with Jared and Riley. We ran into Casey and Carson on their cool down so we talked to them for a while. Casey won the mile with a 4:10. Saw lots of people I know at the meet. It was a good time. Shoutout to Zack for qualifying for state! If anyone wants to run tonight around 9:15 let me know, I'm probably going about 4 miles to hit 50 for the week.

4.1 miles easy with Jared.

AM- 6.14 miles. We ran the Reaper today. I got 10:05 again so I still haven't beat it. Stretched after with some good abs. I think I'm going to get new shoes today. I'll probably get the Kinvara 6. Planning on putting in 4 miles later today.

3 miles at my friends cabin in Fruitland. It was just a brutal 3 mile hill dirt road. Starting elevation was 6412' and it ended at 7543'. It sucked. Ran it it 27:04.

7.83 miles.

7 miles with Riley and Simko. 6:57 average pace. Some strides after. Stretched and got ice for my hip which was hurting a little. Good luck to everyone racing at Arcadia this weekend.

4.1 miles by myself just barely. The weather was so nice. Went to Utah Run today and tried on some shoes. I'll probably get the Kinvara 6 but the Kinvara 7 was way nice. Also wanted to try on the Brooks Launch 3 but they didn't have any in my size.

AM- 5 miles. Mile warmup on the grass by the rec center. 1200 at two mile pace then jogged and 800 then another 1200 at two mile pace. 800 break downs after. The first 800 was a 300 then 200 then 300. The other break down was just 4 200's. Those were actaully pretty fun. Cooled down with Ali, Price and Wade on the track in the opposite direction. Abs after and iced my hip. It didn't hurt today but thought I should ice it anyways. Probably going to put 4 in later.

PM- 6 miles. A little more mileage than I thought I was going to do. I ran with Clain in Provo Canyon. Kept about a 7:25 average pace. Ice bathed in the Provo River after. 

AM- 7.5 miles. Met at the high school then drove to Asa and Connor's territory. Ran on this trail that starts at Willow Park. 7:00 average pace. Went to Lehi Bakery after. The donuts there are so good. Shoutout to my Lehi and Lone Peak homies who took 5th and 10th respectively in the 4x1600 at Arcadia. Hoping to run later today to bring my week to 50.

PM- 3.2 miles. Hit 50 for the week so I'm happy. After I watched all the Arcadia races of guys I know. Shoutout to Connor and Zack for killing it in their races as well as Casey, Patch and Mckay. 

AM- 3 miles. Nice and warm, well, not really warm but running tights weren't needed. 

PM- Couldn't make it to practice because I had a AB Calculus practice test. Just ate dinner and I don't know if I can run right now but planning on putting in 4 ish. 4.2 miles. I felt sick the whole run and I think it's because I had this weird zesty Italian fancy salad dressing. 8:00 pace. Hoping for a 2:14 at Herriman tomorrow in the 800 and around an 11:20 for the 3200.

AM- 3 miles. 

PM- 4.5 miles. Mile warmup then the 800. I thought the 800 was going to be around 4:30 but it started around 5:30. Ran a 2:22 which I'm not that happy about. Didn't have any time for a cooldown or warmup for the 3200. Ran the 3200 with Jared, Benny D and TB. Jared and I were running together for about a mile but I pulled ahead. Finished 5th with a time of 11:25. I know I can go faster but for the first time running the 3200 this season I'm happy. Mile cooldown after. Driving home from the highschool with Jared we saw Zack and Josh so that really made my day complete.

AM- 3 miles. First run in the new Kinvaras.

PM- Jared and I headed to Lone Peak as well as Connor and ran with Zericksen, Jericksen, Jamison, Seth, Craik, Justin, Steven and Galen. We went 8 miles on what I think they called the Alpine loop. Pace was around 7:20 I believe. Ice bath in some stream thing after then played 7 on the line. It was a great time. We got courtesy cones from Arctic Circle on the run which was pretty funny.

AM- 2.5 miles. The weather was pretty warm.

PM- 5.1 miles. It started hailing and was freezing. Matt and I did the speed workout that we missed on Monday because we don't race until Saturday. Saturday I'm racing the 3200 and 800. Today we did a mile warm up then 5 600s hard easy hard easy hard then a five minute break followed by 5 400s hard easy hard easy hard and a mile cool down. On the hard part I was hitting around 5:00 pace.

AM- 2.7 miles. Ran by myself at 5:20 because I had a math review at 6:35.

PM- 6 miles with Connor. He was at PG to watch the UC Invite. We both race Saturday. Watched most the Invite after the run. Glad I wasn't in the mile because it was super windy and freezing cold.

Ran the 3200, 800 and 4x400 today at the Utah County Invite. 1.5 mile warmup before the 3200. I was looking to break 11 in the 3200 with a 10:40. The fastest seed time in my heat was a 10:38 so it wasn't a super fast heat. No body was going fast so I took the lead for laps 4 and 5 and most of 6. My splits were pretty good until 6 and 7. I finished in 8th I think. 10:54 PR so I was happy. Still room to improve though. I did about a .5 mile cooldown/warmup then ran the 800. I was in 17th out of 18 but picked up the pace and finished 10th. Ran a 2:20 PR. I was hoping for 2:17 but I still got a PR. Got pack to where the team was and Riley told me all the 4x400 guys bailed besides him so he got me, Ali and Brian. This was my first 400 and first relay. Our goal was not to take last.  Ali was the first leg and he ran a 65. I got the baton in 8th and took off. The 400 sucks. I almost caught 7th place but didn't. I ran a 61. I handed to Brian who ran a 62 and almost got us to 7th. Riley anchored with a 56 and got us to 7th so we accomplished our goal and each of us got half a point for varsity letters. Good meet. After I got Riley and Ali to run with me and Connor to Molly's. Connor got Asa, Collin, Guppy and Michael. It was a good time. 6.2 miles.

AM- 2.9 miles.

PM- 8.35 miles. Ran to Timpanogos today. Started off with Riley, Matt x2 and Simko. Finished with Riley. 7.85 miles at a 6:33 pace. Good stuff. Two strides after and stretched. Riley and I are putting together a 4x400 team again for tomorrows tri meet so watch out Lehi guys!

AM- 2 miles by myself at 5:15. 5:15 in the moring not pace.

PM- Got to Lehi and put in two laps. 1.5 mile warmup. Raced the 1600. I died in the third lap. I was second right behing Asa and first from PG but Price beat me and I ended in 5th I think. 5:05. .5 mile warmup/cool down. Ran the 800. I was near the front the whole time. I ran a 70 first lap so I knew I had to go to go under 2:20. Second lap was a 67. I was in 4th with about 100 to go and kicked and finished in 2nd so I got some points. Another .5. Got ready for the 4x400. My team was me (anchor), Matt, Jake and Josh. Did about .3 running around the field before to stay loose. We took 3rd out of 4. scoring some more points. Mile cool down. Talked to Bill a couple times today so that was cool. Also warmed up with Dallin and another kid which was fun. Thanks to Connor for giving lots of shout outs and encouragement.

AM- 2.5 miles. Coach shook things up a bit and we ran Apple Grove in the oppostire direction we usually do. 

PM- 6.51 miles. Good group of guys today. Riley, Ali, Jared, Texas, Simko, Matt, Brian and I. Ali, Riley and I finished a little ahead. 6.01 miles at 6:31 pace. My legs felt pretty tired today so I'm suprised I kept the pace I did. Barefoot strides on the grass after and abs. Shoutout to myself for making the lone faithful list!

AM- 2.1 miles by myself.

PM- 4.75 miles. The track was so hot today and it was only like 78 degrees. I'm going to die this summer. Mile warmup. 1000 at 2 mile pace then a slow 600, 800 at 2 miles pace then a slow 400, 600 at 2 mile pace. 5 minute break then 5 200's with 30 second rest in between at 800 pace. Wasn't hitting 4:30 pace like I wanted to, the sun drained me. Mile cooldown on the turf in the opposite direction of the track in socks. Stretched after.

AM- 3.1 miles.

PM- 8.75 miles. Only 6 guys at practice today because a bunch had prom day dates. Riley went easy today before Davis so I ran with Ali, Wade and Jared. I took off to the canal and waited for them there. Started again and Jared stayed with me for one mile but Ali and Wade didn't even last that long. 6.25 miles by myself. My watch is garbage though and said I went 7.12 miles but I calculated the distance with USATF Route Maker and it was 8.25. I kept a 6:30 pace which I'm happy about because I had no none pushing. Took the canal to Timp then by Zac's and Tanner's Trail back. 2 strides after bringing me to 8.75. Good luck to everyone at Davis tomorrow or whatever meet you're running in.

Only 5 people at practice today. All guys. Pretty pathetic how only 5 guys showed up when only one guy on out team is running at Davis. I was going to run with Ali and Wade but they weren't really going fast at all and Joseph started later so I just ran by myself again to Timp, again. Did a lap around Timp's track just for fun. 8.33 miles. I kept a 6:03 average which was way good because it was super windy. Gotta keep grindin'.

AM- 2.1 miles.

PM- 5.7 miles. Went to Lone Peak and ran with Zack, Seth and Will's brother. Good stuff. Lone Peak dual meet at PG tomorrow.

AM- 2.5 miles.

PM- The dual meet got cancelled today so we did a speed workout. 1.5 mile warmup then 30-30s. 3.5 miles there. .35 miles of increasing speed stuff. 1.25 mile cooldown. Stretched after. It was very cold today and I was completely soaked. Good workout though, finished third. Ali and Joseph beat me and Riley was right behind.

Two after school runs today because I slept through my alarm. First run was 7 mile Ali's way to Molly's extended at 6:53 pace with Matt and Riley. 2 Strides after. Second run was 4 miles with Jared to the pond plus a little. Very rainy so now I'm soaked and cold. Good ab workout today. Happy birthday to Connor the GOAT Baller. 14 never looked so good!

AM- 3 miles. We ran on the canal and since it had rained there were so many snails and worms on it. Price picked a snail up to be our team pet, we named him Eduardo and after our run set him in some nice grass.

PM- 4.75 miles. Mile warmup around the rec and pool. Three 600's with a 200 jog inbetween. 5 minute break then 10 200's with a minute rest inbetween. Is inbetween a real word? Think about it and say it like three times and it makes no sense. Mile cool down after backwards on the track. Did some hard abs after and some pull ups and push ups. Pumped to run the 1600 on Saturday at Tiger Trials! Shout out to me and Asa for having a picture of us racing in the PGHS paper.

AM- 2.5 miles. Didn't see a car the entire run.

PM- 5.55 miles. 5.17 miles with most the guys. Zericksen ran with us so it was a good time. Three 200's on the track. Stretching after. Pumped for the 1600 tomorrow at Tiger Trials.

Got to Orem and put in two laps with Jared. A little bit windy on the back stretch. 1.5 mile warmup with all the guys running the mile, Jared,  Price, Josh and Eric. Got back and stretched and drained legs. Did some strides before the race. I was heat 3 seed 11. Josh and Jared were also in my heat and Asa. The fastest seed time was a 4:53.3 so I knew I would have to be in the front to qualify for BYU. This made me go too fast at the start. I started out way too fast with a 67 or something and got a 78 I think in the third. Ran a 4:52 PR. I'm more disappointed then happy with that time because I really wanted to qualify for BYU. 2 mile cool down after by myself.

PM- 3.4 miles with Jared.

4.17 miles with Casey a little after running with Jared.
